Emma Watson Beatboxes for Gender Equality With Lin-Manuel Miranda

Watch the video RN.

What do you get when you mix Emma Watson and Broadway? Magic. (Well, metaphorical magic. There was no Hermione Granger here.)

Emma and Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda teamed up to do a video interview as a part of HeForShe Arts Week. The initiative leverages the arts spotlighting efforts towards gender equality and women’s rights.

In the video, the two stars bridge the arts and feminism in the most creative way possible. Meet the self-styled beatbox dream team. Yes, Lin-Manuel asked her to drop a beat while he freestyled. An embarrassed Emma was hesitant at first, but once Lin-Manuel agreed to rap about gender equality, she was all in. As a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations with a feminist book club, let’s be real…what won’t she do for the cause?!

For a freestyle session, the two got pretty deep and as a first-time beatboxer, Emma killed it. Watch the video below.
